So last week I talked about making a non-gaming announcement this week. After 6 years of being with my girlfriend I proposed to her this weekend! and she said yes! I actually made her a very small game as part of the proposal since I am a game developer after all. She loved it and we are very happy, next step is to plan the wedding >.< haha so lets get back to games!

Okay so PTD 2, this week I'm gearing up to work all out on getting this ready. Like always I like to be very open about what I'm working on so I will post a progress list of what I have to do and will be updating it all this week as I make progress on it.

Party Selection Screen (100%)- Slightly refined, added new
sorting options that you guys requested, plus additional settings to
each sorting option as seen in the pictures below.

New Party Screen Sorting Options

Showing the sub options for sorting options

Pokemon Upgrade Screen (60%) - Adding the two suggestions that you guys requested, being able to change your pokemon in the screen and showing the pokemon's stats. Other additions are showing the nickname of the pokemon along with its name, showing the gender by symbol and background color. Also you can see that you can see your abilities and their description and also change them before the level. Finally I added a new pokedex button that will take you to the pokedex information of this pokemon. It will be more detailed than in ptd 1. You can see a work in progress shot below. (Note: I'm using pokemon with random moves in them for testing purposes, you can't learn these move on Onix without hacking)

Newer version, female onix, pokedex button, and ability window

Pokemon Store Screen (0%)
Level 1 (0%)
Any attacks that need to be modified (50%) - Setting up the new stacking debuff mechanics. No longer will stat changing attack run out. They will also stack so you have to keep applying it to get the max effect. Watch the video below for a small preview. The graphic will get slightly bigger and stack as the debuff stacks. Also your pokemon will prioritize targets that have the lowest stack or no stack at all.

Level User Interface (0%)

Saving (0%)
Loading (0%)

During the week I will keep adding more things and updating what I'm working on. This will give you a better look at where I am at with getting the release done.

That is all I have for today, keep checking back for more. As always let me know what you think!

how will it work? u go to poekmon center place the two pokemon u want to breed then wait for 30 min then u can take the pokemon out of pokemon center to use it once more, then wait even more for the egg to hatch maybe 1 day is my guess? ALSO can u make new pokemon, by breeding two different types of pokemon like a dragonite with a gyarados = gydragodos? or something like that?

Presumably, the level user interface is something about selecting what difficulty/level you want to play, the Pokemon store would be where you can buy more Pokemon, and the Pokemon upgrade screen would be where you upgrade them XD

Congratulations Sam. I know from recent experience (about a year ago) that the time of planning, and maybe moving, is a wondefull and unique time. Enjoy it!And I'm looking forward on your progress on PTD2, but keep your priorities straight :-)

Sam, Can you make Tm/Hm price from the powerful that move?i mean like this:The move that is attack do bad the price is 9.000 PokedollarThe move that is attack do normal the price is 10.000 PokedollarThe move that is have powerful attack the price is 11.000 Pokedollar

Or maybe weak moves could cost 5000 Pokedollars, a normal-damage attack can cost 10,000 pokedollars, and a powerful move can cost 15,000 Pokedollars. That way if you have it as a weak attack costs something like 9000 and a strong attack only costs 2000 more or so, that person would just easily earn 2000 in about 10-15 (maybe 20) minutes. Just a thought.

I have an idea! When PTD 2 1v1 Mode is out, I will have a fresh caught Mew auction! They are all regular, but some are hacked. Let me know whatever kinds of Pokémon (no Legendaries or Shiny/Shadow (except Missingno.)) you want me to giveaway! I can also give Starter Pokémon! Just don't try to ask me for my entire Pokémon Storage (most of it is hacked anyway.). :)

Wow Sam, that's great for what you were asking your girlfriend. And I can't wait for ptd2. And i was playing another pokemon game called pokemon crystal . Now that game that i played had the same starters just like the starters in ptd2 but good luck on the game though.

Congratulations man.I remember when I proposed, scariest moment of my life. It was a few Months ago. But our wedding isn't for another year (thank God) I'm only 18 so most of the expenses will be bought by my mom and dad haha.Good luck in the future!

I've got a idea like this: If you have finished 1vs1 mode :pThen you can make a match. Where you will have a clann for a month. With the clann you must to beat other clans. The first clan will win snd coins, but you can have this challenge 3 times in the year. I hope you liked it (if you read it :p)

hi sam, i want you to know that i hope you wil be happy with your girlfriend. and i hope you will keep on going with making these games, but i understand that the wedding is more important then the games.

congrats Sam. i was wondering if lugia would also be in the game? oh and just a little favor, if you can make lucario/riolu the 3rd or 4th mystery gift? maybe make another poll please??!! again, congrats (thums up)

Could you have the next poll be between the following pokemon for the second Mystery Gift (all shiny or shadow): Hoothoot, Togepi, Magby, Pichu and Elekid (Elekid, Pichu, and Magby because they are Odd Egg pokemon and I don't know if you are going to have the odd egg.

Sam congratulations glad your having better lady luck then me, whats her name. and can we just get this clear are there ever going to be legendary as mystery gifts because considering they play a big role in the region there shouldn't be.

Sam, don't mean to jinx you or anything but i hear that usually when someone dates someone for years then they finally get married it doesn't turn out great "usually", but congrats anyway. :) Question is Ho-oh and Lugia the only legendary Pokemon in the game? Also I choose Blue path not the red but can I change without having to start over? Happy wedding!!! "Also I'm not a sir nor ma'am I'm A boy!"

instead of having 2 boys to follow u like stalkers can a girl join, like ash he always had a girl in his little team (first misty, then may, then dawn, and finally iris)? maybe maruto gets ill then has to go home or... dies.

Hi Sam, congrats on your proposal! I do have a few questions, though. Will Eevee be obtainable in PTD 2? I just want to know if I will need to catch 5 Eevees in PTD 1 in order to get all the shiny Eeveelutions in PTD 2. Also, will there be a separate Pokemon Center for 1 and 2, or will it be the same for both games? Lastly, some suggestions on moves to fix would be making Safeguard apply to all Pokemon just like Reflect and Light Screen do, having Baton Pass work on Aqua Ring and Substitute, and a distant reminder to include Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant, Hydro Cannon, and Draco Meteor when we eventually get to Blackthorn, which I know is very far in the future. Congrats again!

Sam sence we are gonna have breeding that means our pokemon are going to have gender right? I think that when someone wants to see there pokemon to set what pokwmon they want to use the little gender symbol is on the top right of the square.

Sam i can only say to you that you should take your time whit the weeding and all and just then start working in the game i would like you would do that because you and your personal feelings for someone come first later do the game

Will be be able to use the Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Master Ball, Premier Ball, Safari Ball, Repeat Ball, Timer Ball, Nest Ball, Net Ball, Dive Ball, Luxury Ball, Heal Ball, Quick Ball, and the Dusk Ball instead of just that Original Ball?

Congrats! I don't even know why you put the progress chart up there! Just take a break, you're getting married! Trust me, no matter how much the community whines, we can wait for PTD2, right guys? I speak on behalf of everyone here. May the best of luck be with you!

I can't answer your twitter because i don't have one(and don't want to make one). But about the party sort system: it would be great if you added a 2. priority system. like you could choose first type, and then level

unbelievable! the guy who can say that is my hero (because of the incredible game PTD) is getting married?! congratulations manPS: I'm BrazilianPSS: sorry for the second comment the other was wrong (I use google translator and I'm used to use, 'and'('e') as 'is'('e with an accent'))

Nice job on the engagement Sam! Hope it goes well. I have 3 questions to ask.1. Will we be able to catch Unova pokemon since Zorua is the 1st mystery gift?2. Can the chances for SnD Coins in the daily gift go up to like 10 percent? (only on rare)3. In the story line, there should be another evil pokemon along with Mewthree. I would suggest Shadow Lugia. Could that please go into the story line?Thanks ahead of time.
